As discussed offline this looks correct to me too. Thanks for looking 
into it!

Since the CI was green I have now merged the patch. Thanks for the fix Rob!

Regards,

Tvrtko

P.S. Backport to kernels which do not contain e1a7ab4fca0c ("drm/i915: 
Remove the vm open count"), so 5.16 to 5.18, will require a slightly 
different patch as Matt has also mentioned offline.
